Metformin hydrochloride

Description:

Metformin hydrochloride is an oral antihyperglycemic agent primarily used in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It belongs to the biguanide class of medications and functions by decreasing hepatic glucose production, enhancing insulin sensitivity, and improving peripheral glucose uptake and utilization. The substance appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder, which is soluble in water but has limited solubility in organic solvents. Its chemical formula is C4H11N5·HCl, and it has a molecular weight of approximately 165.63 g/mol. Metformin hydrochloride is typically administered in tablet form and is known for its favorable safety profile, with gastrointestinal side effects being the most common. It is also associated with a low risk of hypoglycemia when used alone. Additionally, research has indicated potential benefits beyond glycemic control, including cardiovascular protection and weight management. As with any medication, it is essential to use metformin under medical supervision, considering contraindications and potential interactions with other drugs.

Controlled Product

CAS: 1115-70-4

Applications An oral hypoglycemic agent. Slows electron transport in the oxidation pathway in mitochondria. Has been reported to reverse Lupus symptoms in mice in conjunction with 2-deoxy-d-glucose (D239000). Metformin is a well-known type 2 diabetes treatment. Research shows that metformin may inhibit tumor growth both directly and indirectly. Studies indicate that metformin modulates the biology of aging. Metformin blocks the conversion of select substrates into glucose in a redox-dependent manner.

Metformin HCl - Bio-X ™

CAS: 1115-70-4

Metformin is a widely used anti-hyperglycemic (anti-diabetic) agent for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. This is due to it decreasing blood glucose by decreasing hepatic glucose product by activation of the AMP-activated protein kinase AMPK. Studies have also demonstrated Metformin to have anti-cancer activity, attributed to several mechanisms such as inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), cancer stem cells and inflammation.
